“An official order is needed. Opal Gastransport has not received such an order at this time. We are in close negotiations with the Federal Network Agency of Germany as the agency in charge of OPAL, ”RIA Novosti quoted the company as saying.

Earlier, the German Federal Grid Agency said that Gazprom should halve the transportation of gas through the OPAL gas pipeline in accordance with a decision of a European court.

On September 10, an EU court overturned the decision of the European Commission to change the regime for using the OPAL gas pipeline.

According to this decision, the Russian company had the exclusive right to 50% of the gas pipeline capacity and could acquire another 40% at auctions.
